I just hope it's not going to take more than a decade. It would be nice if something is in the works now. How long has it been since the "mk" park has had something new, and be something of an "E" caliber? It was in 1992 with Splash Mountain. 15 years almost! EPCOT got Soarin', and Nemo. Animal Kingdom - Nemo show, Expedition E. D/MGM - Midway Mania in a couple of years ... It's time for something new at the MK park. And the piece of property to work on ... Is the former 20K site. Nothing else!

The MK just is'nt up to Disneyland's premier standard of excellence. Unfortunately too, because the MK has so much potential and is already built up with a great infrastructure of attractions and theme's to be right up there with Disneyland park in California. Too bad, so sad. I love the castle.

But the fact is, as usual, you are arguing for the sake of arguing. You are not even saying that Pooh Playground is a GOOD thing. I'm not sure if I have this right, but it SEEMS like your post is calling everyone that hates Pooh Playground to be " people who are inclined to be dissatisfied with most everything." Let me tell you something... TDLFAN's rants used to get on my nerves, because I used to think he was disatisfied with about everyhing. Then one day I realilzed that he probably loves Disney as much as anyone and is actually fighting in some way for better quality and up keep...by just telling it like it is. Therefore, I leave you with this statement...Pooh Playground is stupid. Maybe not so eloquent, but a 4 year old knows what I'm sayin', right?

(I enjoy it at Disneyland, a nice respite from the crowds.) I just don't know what Aunt Polly's is???

If you shirk your duty they take your kids and send them to be Small World dolls.

Originally Posted By VCR_Pongo Bah maybe there could be a ADULTS only day. I think its already amazing that the parks are open 365 days a year. I just don't see how the rides and attractions stand up or hold up as well as they do as it is.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip <<RoadTrip you crack me up. Were you a brat yourself as a kid? I was awful!>> Yes; in fact I was a Triple Crown Winner!! I had the privilege of visiting the Principal's office in Elementary School, Junior High School and High School. Not bad, eh?? I never got suspended or was even given detention; I just got yelled at. What were they going to do? I was always one of the school's top students!

Yes and you get that per every 6 demerits you get. The problem is...my son...HE LOVES BREAKFAST CLUB! What am I going to do???
